Students Learn to Balance Hacking and the Law

This summer summer, interns from Albuquerque area high schools spent eight weeks learning how to take apart computer code and put it back together in interesting ways.

The students were recruited from local computer challenge events by UNM Associate Professor of Computer Science Jed Crandall. He hopes to build interest among high school students interested in learning more about computer science.

Crandall teamed with the Anderson School of Management's professor and UNM’s Information Assurance Research & Education Director Alex Seazzu for the class. For the first few weeks the students learned about internet privacy from Seazzu. Then they took the students on an adventure to show them how hacking works in the real world.
